Hi, Can you tell me if your eczema and wounds become worse with any particular triggers, like certain foods, weather, or stress? Additionally, do you have any other skin issues, such as dryness, redness, or swelling elsewhere on the body? Lastly, how is your digestion and sleep, as these can sometimes affect skin health?

Hey, dealing with those stubborn skin issues can be really frustrating, I get it. In Ayurveda, eczema and non-healing wounds can often be linked to an imbalance of Pitta dosha, which might be causing inflammation and heat in the skin. First things first, let's focus on cooling your Pitta down. You might want to try incorporating foods that are naturally balancing to Pitta. Think about adding more sweet, bitter, and astringent foods — like cucumbers, leafy greens, and coconut water to your meals. Avoiding spicy, oily, and fermented foods are key, because they can fuel that heat. Now, let's talk oils. Applying coconut oil or neem oil directly to the affected areas can be soothing as they have cooling and healing properties that may help the skin. You might consider doing this twice a day, morning and night, to see if it helps speed up the healing process. And how about turmeric, the golden spice? It's kinda amazing for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. You could make a paste by mixing turmeric powder with a bit of water or honey and apply it gently to the wounds. Leave it on for like 20-30 minutes before washing it off, watching for any irritation though. It's important too, not to underestimate the role of inner balance. Practices like yoga or meditation might help in reducing stress, believe it or not, stress can make Pitta imbalances worse. Simply taking a few minutes a day to breathe deeply is something small but powerful. Finally, and quite crucially, if the wounds continue not to heal or worsen, seeking professional medical attention is important. Even though Ayurveda offers great tools, persistent wounds that resist healing should be checked out to rule out any potential infections or complications. So, give these a try, stay consistent, and fingers crossed, you will see some improvement. Let me know how it goes!
